For this build I am only using Intel and amd gpu. I planning a new Hackintosh build as my current  one is 9 years old and could do with a new build. I have already looked into comparability issues and they all work. My goal is for High end work like 8k video editing with final cut pro and music making with logic pro. I also want to run my 4 games ultra high on mac Diablo 3 | F1 racing | Grid 2 | Minecraft.  I will be using parallels 12 to do auto cad / inventor  and Revit . I am currently going video editing , music making , gaming and using paralles 12 on my 2019 15inch i9 macbook pro and it works but not getting the best performance.

What model of GPU are you planning on buying, you could upgrade to a RX 590 or RX 580 for better performance without the CPU and other components being a bottleneck?

Hope this information post was helpful  ?,

a 570 to a 580 or 590 makes little sense. it a 5700 or 5700xt would make sense.

New build for 2020

Case: coller master ELITE 130

Mother board: ASRock X299E-ITX/ac

Cpu: INTEL® CORE™ i9-7980XE

Gpu: RX570 

Ram: G.SKILL Trident Z RGB Series 64GB(4x16GB) DDR4 4000MHz

Hdd1: 4TB WD Blue // storage 

Hdd2: 4TB WD Blue // Backup of storage

SSD1: WD Black 1TB // Main operating system

SSD2: WD Black 1TB // Backup of operating systems 

power supply: Cooler Master MasterWatt 750W 80 Plus Bronze

A few items of note-

  • What cooler do you plan on running? 
  • PSU isn't the best
  • I desperately want to recomend a nicer case for this upgrade

Beyond those two big (and one small) points, as long as that GPU is sufficient for your workflow I dont see any problems, and welcome to HEDT ITX land! 

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

I will upgrade my gpu to 1000w and the case is perfect for the area I'm using it in so I don't want to change it. I do plan on changing the intake fan that's in the front on the case and putting a fan that can move more air

Nice build but this is not hackintosh. I would have to run linux and do a mac vm witch is a lot more work and you lose performance. thanks for your build anyway

The PSU doesn't matter nearly as much as your cooler - the 7980xe needs a big cooler to stay under control, and the case can't fit anything good enough for that with the stock layout and no mods.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Oh that's what you mean ok do you think a triple rad water cool will work for keeping the cpu cool

Yes, but it won't fit in an elite 130

@skylinetofast  if you're set on keeping the 130, you can re-organize the layout, using an sfx PSU and full tower cooler.  This takes a bit of finagling, but would work quite well and still keep the 7980xe under control DSC_0179.thumb.JPG.5c1f524b9b3141d9137c1febc7eda3c0.JPG
